UPS question. I'm expecting a delivery to my house. Do UPS still do that thing when they try about three times, even though I'm not at home? - con_carne Aug 19, 12:08 5

      - I think the ombudsman got it right though....to not at least 'report' the fact it happened led to many questions that could have been avoided. - Will Hunting Aug 19, 12:15 2
        
        I suspect what we'll see in the future is, "Here is the story and we have reason to doubt its credibility." -- nm - David Aug 19, 12:17 1

      - Yup, they did more fact checking than anyone and made the correct determination. Then, they were shredded for it. -- nm - David Aug 19, 12:10 2
        
        My question though, if they were holding back because they had evidence the story wasn't credible....why didn't they report the contrary evidence? - musubi Aug 19, 12:15
        
        That's just it though...they've been so horrible with reporting stories without facts that when they actually DO hold back... - Jim Aug 19, 12:13

      - yep. -- nm - Diva Aug 19, 12:08
    - Honestly... I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Dave Duncan turn him into a stud again. - Jim Aug 19, 12:04 4
      - Having watched him with the Red Sox, he looks done. He's lost his movement. -- nm - David Aug 19, 12:12 3
        
        It was hard to watch him pitch this year. Not even close to what he needs to be to be an effective SP. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 12:14 2
        
        Before the surgery, I was living in fear of him being another Dave Dravecky. I'm not surprised surgery didn't get him back to normal at his age. -- nm - David Aug 19, 12:15 1
        
        Agreed. A few years ago he might have bounced back better but he looks done to me. - Krusty Aug 19, 12:17

  - I hope you guys have a deep bullpen, you're going to need it. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 12:06 4
    - Um...we've been running Todd Wellemeyer out there as our #5 most of the season...statistically, one of the 2 worst pitchers in the NL. - Jim Aug 19, 12:15 3
      - He's that bad this year. I don't see how he can help anyone. I don't wish him or the Cards anything bad. - Krusty Aug 19, 12:20
      - And...I LOVE the idea of him in our pen should we make the playoffs. -- nm - Jim Aug 19, 12:16 1
        
        He'd do well out of the pen, agreed. No way I'd start him. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 12:21
- Kind of wish the cubs had picked him up and given him a shot at closing. - pmb Aug 19, 11:59 2
  - honestly, I would think he would have good value as a middle innings relief pitcher. - tRuMaN Aug 19, 12:02 1
    - I agree, he'd probably do well out of the pen. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 12:07

  - Yeah. I watch the current guy and he has no imagination for what can be done with it. - Will Hunting Aug 19, 11:46 4
    - Nice. From what I recall of Access ... it was pretty simple to work with. Is it linked to oracle via an ODBC driver? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 11:48 2
      - I believe so. I haven't actually taken a deep look into it yet; my past experience - Will Hunting Aug 19, 11:49 1

        That doesn't do much to prevent decline in songbird populations. -- nm - TWuG Aug 19, 11:47 5
        
        well, it does stop new kittens from being born and adding to the numbers on the streets. -- nm - Andie Aug 19, 11:49 4
        
        To an extent. I'd rather see laws designed at licensing cats in the same way dogs are. And mandatory spay and neuter laws - TWuG Aug 19, 11:52 1
